According to a press release
this morning, IMAX will be transforming approximately 20 minutes at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix from 2D to 3D.
Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures said:
We are so pleased to be bringing audiences yet another outstanding Harry Potter film to the big screen in both 35mm and IMAX theaters. This is the Studio's biggest franchise to date, and we expect this highly-anticipated fifth film to play phenomenally well in all theaters throughout the summer.
Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, President of Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures International added:
The Harry Potter films are an enormous draw all over the world, and this film should prove to be no different. The last 20 minutes in IMAX 3D will add a new element of excitement to the Harry Potter experience, making this a must-see for fans of all ages. We're looking forward to a long and very successful run.
The movie will be released in IMAX and conventional theatres on July 13, 2007.
UPDATE: A new poster from the movie from IMAX has appeared online courtesy of TLC.

Why is the final 20 minutes only what they are going to show in IMAX 3D?? It might be the most exciting and all, but why not show the whole movie then??

First of all, the new poster looks great. It really captures the darker mood of year 5. But the best news is the possibility of seeing the movie in 3-D. IMAX is a great way to enjoy big movies like this, and 3-D just makes it even better. I absolutely encourage anyone who can get themselves to an IMAX theater to do so.

This should be neat to see. I am sure it will just make the film more exciting. I think I have an IMAX theater near me, maybe I will just go see it there. I have heard that IMAX films are very neat.

Haha, well duh it's gonna do well in all the theatres. I mean, it's Harry Potter! Does that even need an explanation? Well, I'm looking forward to that - I should actually be in the States when it's in theatres, and I want to see it in IMAX. I mean, I HAVE TO.

I had planned to see Order of the Phoenix in IMAX just like the last two films but I don't think I will now. I feel like I'm one of the few who DOESN'T want to see HP in 3-D. IMAX is already expensive as it is. I wish they would do both regular and 3-D versions in IMAX. Not that I'm totally against the 3-D aspect but I don't want to see it that way for the first time, it's too distracting in my opinion. I guess I'll just go see it on the regular screen.
